2 Q: 1)does the Hana 2021 have a longer nozzle than the O2, or is the shell+nozzle identical? and 2) did you actually A/B the Hana 2021 vs. the O2? reason I ask is I have heard others saying they have the same clarity,detail , shine and resolution... that there is no difference at all, whereas you said the Hana 2021 has less resolution , clarity and detail. Without any facts, I have assumed that the O2 "version 2" that was discussed in late 2019, and never realized, is in fact the Hana 2021... same shell, same driver, same internal tuning, same sound profile, but slightly longer nozzle to address the fit issues some had with the O2 in mid 2019.
Thanks for the review, now I know what to get soon. I might either get the Hana or a used Oxygen. I love the sound signature of the T3+ (similar Harman tuning) so upgrading to the Hana / Oxygen makes a lot of sense.
On dans sound demo the Kato sounded super thin and bright. Only the oxygen sounded bodied. Does the yume lean more towards kato or more towards hana? Also the moondrop variations lacked impact and vocals were too far back and thin. Really trying to find the right iems
How do these compete with the Blessing 2? I recently purchased the Blessing 2 (upgraded from a kzsn-pro) and man, I think I'm diving down the rabbit hole.
@@leowolastname2250 They're still fantastic as the day I first tried them on ( minus getting used to the size of them terrorizing my ear canals because of huge they are LOL). Other than that the other purchases since then have been the timeless, yume:midnight, variations and the cheaper stuff like chu's and truthear zero. I have been dailying the Zero's for around 3 months and couldn't be happier. From gaming to music, there's just something about them that I just love over the other stuff in my arsenal.
Timmy, need your advice, please. If I want to get Hana and make it sound similar to Oxygen, will cable or dongle help? And if yes, which one would you recommend? I'll have quite a few cables and DACs in my possession soon, and I just wonder do I need to pay more. Or there's really no point and I should better get Oxygen from a get go? Like money isn't problem situation. Thank you in advance.
I'm not a big believer in cable changing the sound in a any significant way. The Hana 2021 already sound very similar to the Oxygen. If you have original Hana sadly it is too different for any potential fix. For me it's better to get the Oxygen out right rather than spending $179 on Hana, $50+ on cables and etc.
@@Gizaudio thank you so much, Timmy! I'll look for deals then. I think like a beginner I probably won't see a big difference between Hana and Oxygen tho, but it's always cool to know how a better IEM sounds like. Have you listened to Tanchjim Prism?
Depends on what you want. Hana 2021: if you want to keep the same signature but more refined in the upper midrange area. Yume: If you enjoy a beautiful midrange and vocal performance, this is a must-try and best you can get under $200 regarding those two categories. Legacy 5: If you want a versatile warm leaning set that's good at just about anything but doesn't really stand out in any particular area. My personal recommendation for Starfield owner is that anything under $200 would not be a big enough upgrade to the Starfiled. I recommend saving up more to get a more noticeable performance differences with IEMs around $300. Especially because you are already considering $250 Legacy 5, saving up a bit more is better. Here are my recommendations. Blessing 2 or Blessing 2 Dusk: These two are the best you can get at around $300. The tuning is amazing leading to fantastic vocals, realistic instruments, and overall smooth listening experience with great detail on top of that. This is true $300 benchmark IEMs. Tanchjim Oxygen: This is if you want to keep to the signature of Starfield but want the best of you can get out of the signature at under $300 Hope you find this helpful! :)
@@jasonbhatnagar7134 I own the Tea and for me it's not better it's different. Tea feels more full and smooth than Blessing 2 while retaining a decent tune and decent level of detail, overall a very versatile set. Bass is smoother on Tea than Blessing as well. Blessing 2 is midrange monster, nothing beats it in cheer vocal reproduction and overall detail around $300. Compare to Tea, tea is definitely more relaxing while Blessing 2 is more analytical. Both are great, but I personally prefer the Blessing 2 / Blessing 2 Dusk.
I love your videos man. I am torn between the new Fiio FD3 and the Tanchjin Hana 2021. What’s the major difference between the two. Please be advised that I listen primarily big band and classical orchestras. Thank you in advance!!
FD3 is warm and bassy, Hana is more clean in the midrange than FD3 and also have more details as well. It depends, if you like a lot of bass and a more relaxing listen than FD3, if you want a slightly cleaner version of that than the Hana 2021.
The moondrop offerings all have a more relaxing upper midrange, faster roll off than the Tanchjim's offering. I would say the Oxygen 100% has more crispiness, the Hana 2021 is not as crispy as Oxygen but crispier than KXXS in that upper midrange region.
I would say the upgrade to the Aria would be the KXXS but not my much.. Aria is one of those special IEMs that really is punching above the price. KXXS has more details overall and a tighter more punchy bass response. Hana 2021 is also good option if you want more treble energy.
@@Gizaudio My arias are great, but I was thinking on upgrading to the kXXS or the hana 2021s for a while, I was thinking hanas because they look more comfortable for sleeping in than the kxxs, and I listen to bassy music, but this music is more highs focused.
New vid always on the top of my feed hehe I'm just this lucky.Oh also my man, SeeAudio Miu is delayed so SeeAudio decided to release the Bravery first.Hope you can audition it soon skreeeeee
Hi and thanks for your good reviews. I have the first Hana version, and just wanted to warn people that despite sounding awesome (a little too bright for me), these IEMs aren't for everyone's ear. They are small, quite heavy, and have short nozzles, the result is that they will fall out of your ears. If you usually use large ear tips, this is what is likely to happen. I have never been able to find a good fit, it is very frustrating.
Hana 2021 is more midbass with good female vocals and decent details and good tuning. Yume is more subbass and vocal centric with AMAZING tuning....vocals have never felt so realistic under $300 before the Yume. As for which is best??? Personally I love the Yume :)
Hi! From my experience the stage on KXXS and Hana feels very similar. Changing to wide bore tips can make an IEM feel slightly more open, however, it's not a huge change, just a slight one. Thanks for commenting!
@@Gizaudio I see, I think I might pickup the yume.... One more thing, is the Yume a relatively safe shape for smaller ears? I have starfields and nm2+ which fits my ears perfectly, but I just recently picked up the Legacy 5s which at first glance have a similar size and shape to the Yume and It kind of hurts my ears even after a short listening session..
Yume for me, only because the tuning is superbly done and I enjoy something that is unique like that. For beginners I would say Hana 2021 is a more well-rounded option.

Hey Tim how would u compare this to the oxygen is it really worth spending the extra $100? Or just price bias has ur opinion changed
How did I just discovered your channel? You're amazing! I appriciate your video editing and channel quality in general!
Thank you so much!! :D
Which one is the best?
1. Tanchjim Hana 2021
2. Ikko OH10
3. Final Audio A4000
4. KZ AST
been watching loads of your reviews recently and just put in the order for my Hana's! thanks loads :)
Thank you so much!! Hope you like the Hana!
In love with your channel!

I've not tried the original Hana, but I heard many people feel the same way you do as well. Thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts! :)
@@Gizaudio They share the same shell, even if being externally different
Azla SednaEarfit tips are almost perfect to keep them in my ears, they just need a small push from time to time for an optimal bass rendering
upgrade from ssp to tanchjim hana 2021 or yume? but unfortunately I don't want too much bass like in SSP , for vokal and genre J-Pop
Hana 2021 or See audio yume ?? What’s the difference ??
What would you recommend ??
Hana 2021 is more midbass with good female vocals and decent details and good tuning. Yume is more subbass and vocal centric with AMAZING tuning....vocals have never felt so realistic under $300 before the Yume. As for which is best??? Personally I love the Yume :)
Looking forward that you will review the Prism in the future
I'm really looking forward to that one too. Thanks for commenting!
New Hana, 3d processing and imaging better than kxxs? Choose a slightly wide bore eartips can increase the soundstage?
Hi! From my experience the stage on KXXS and Hana feels very similar.
Changing to wide bore tips can make an IEM feel slightly more open, however, it's not a huge change, just a slight one.
Thanks for commenting!
Do you maybe know the Tanchjim Cora? I know it's much cheaper than the Hana, but I'm curious about a direct comparison (Sound signarure) :-)
I know of it but have never tried sadly
How do you compare is on t3 plus? They have a very similar graph
What is the driver size of new hana. Thanks for the great review bro
If i have this iem, is worth buy the moondrop aria?
Do they benefit from using a balanced cable? For example the Oxygen balanced cable?
Not much, these are pretty easy to drive.
Hana or fh3 for Classic and rock metal?
would you recommend these for a broad range of music including edm?
These work well with all genres so EDMS will sound nice here as well :)
Things are changing so fast in the IEM world… Are the Hana still best in the price range in 2023?
Howecome you put these towards the bottom of your tier list? Doesn't make sense.
This is 2 years old
Purely for Vocals and Jpop, the yume or these?
Yume :)
@@Gizaudio I see, I think I might pickup the yume.... One more thing, is the Yume a relatively safe shape for smaller ears? I have starfields and nm2+ which fits my ears perfectly, but I just recently picked up the Legacy 5s which at first glance have a similar size and shape to the Yume and It kind of hurts my ears even after a short listening session..
From memory I would say the Yume is quite comfortable, I don't remember any discomforting feelings.
This or the oxygen if you can afford both?
Oxygen is the better pair :)
Is it a good idea to upgrade from kxxs to oxygen?
Yes...you'll be very surprise what a bit of extra treble energy can do to a song especially if you listen to a lot of female vocals.
These IEMs or the FiiO FH3??
Hana 2021! :D
Get the Darling. I have Tanya, O2, and the Darling. Oh my darling is the best
Nice! I'll see if I can get ahold of one.
Hana 2021 or the Kato ?
Kato
I actually prefer the Hana 2021 over the Oxygen. The Oxygen has too much detail in the treble for my ears. The Hana 2021 is just right for me.
This iem or L4 ?
This one! :)
this or yume?
Yume for me, only because the tuning is superbly done and I enjoy something that is unique like that. For beginners I would say Hana 2021 is a more well-rounded option.
@@Gizaudio much appreciated. Thanks
